Cheeseburger Soup Recipe

Throughout most of the U.S. it’s been a brutally cold week. For many of my friends who live further north, snow days have been a regular occurrence this winter. Don’t fret, because I have the perfect snow day recipe for you. Your kids are sure to love this Cheeseburger Soup recipe!

Don’t you just love a good bowl of homemade soup on a cold day?

I first made this soup while visiting my son in Tennessee last month. Even big kids like him love this soup. My son and his friends emptied the pot in a matter of minutes. After a few minor alterations, I think my most recent batch of this soup is just right. Here’s the recipe:

1. In a large pot, melt 1 tablespoon butter or margarine over medium heat. Cook and stir vegetables and ground beef, until beef is brown and vegetables are tender.

2. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Add the broth and potatoes. Bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes.

3. Melt the remaining butter and stir in flour. Add the milk, stirring until smooth.

4. Gradually add milk mixture to the soup, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. Stir in cheese. When cheese is melted, add sour cream and heat through. Do not boil. If desired, serve with a bit of shredded Cheddar sprinkled on top.

I love cheeseburger soup! My recipe is a little different – I don’t do the carrots or potatoes, and put pasta on the side (usually elbow macaroni) so it doesn’t get mushy in the soup. It’s definitely a favorite in our house and such a great thing to eat on a chilly winter day!

The cold has finally hit us here in Kentucky too! I make a very similar version of this soup too! It is delicious!! I also usually make a crusty artisan bread to eat along with it. This is always a hit in our house!
